Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

90 Report by local authority in certain cases where person remanded on bail
After section 23A of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969 (c. 54) there is inserted— Report by local authority in certain cases where person remanded on bail 23B (1) Subsection (2) below applies where a court remands a person aged 10 or 11 on bail and either— (a) the person is charged with or has been convicted of a serious offence, or (b) in the opinion of the court the person is a persistent offender. (2) The court may order a local authority to make an oral or written report specifying where the person is likely to be placed or maintained if he is further remanded to local authority accommodation. (3) An order under subsection (2) above must designate the local authority which is to make the report; and that authority must be the local authority which the court would have designated under section 23(2) of this Act if the person had been remanded to local authority accommodation. (4) An order under subsection (2) above must specify the period within which the local authority must comply with the order. (5) The maximum period that may be so specified is seven working days. (6) If the Secretary of State by order so provides, subsection (2) above also applies where— (a) a court remands on bail any person who has attained the age of 12 and is under the age of 17, (b) the requirement in section 23AA(3) of this Act is fulfilled, and (c) in a case where he is remanded after conviction, the court is satisfied that the behaviour which constituted the offence was due, to a significant extent, to the circumstances in which the offender was living. (7) In this section— “serious offence” means an offence punishable in the case of an adult with imprisonment for a term of two years or more. “working day” means any day other than— a Saturday or a Sunday, Christmas day or Good Friday, or a bank holiday in England and Wales under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971. .

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
